MOS Clark, yes. But I would argue that he's gained a lot of impressive strength and durability feats that would place him in a tier above where he used to be.
Wait, really?
I thought flight was due to the lower gravity... welp.
Yeah.
You mean, like what Clark did in BvS? They'd have to be much closer to the sun, I'd think. Atleast for energy related wounds.
Well, I am thinking scale, really. As far as heat vision goes, MOS Clark < BvS Clark (he strained with effort, and IIRC it was a slightly larger beam) << DD's heat vision in size and kinetic force. But I don't know how to compare HV temperatures to any high magnitude temperatures from the MCU (old neutron star core, lightning) since HV is more fictitious and less quantifiable than what is provided for the latter two, since there are temperature ranges we can put those two into. And I would think that Thor's more impressive feats would induce exposure to the atmosphere.
Do you know of any reliable/credible estimates for HV? The last time I got one, it was from DianaAllMighty saying it was lightspeed like comics till I called him out on it. So I tend to be a bit wary when it comes to estimates. But the physical force behind it is impressive.
Which isn't the case when it didn't seem to matter if they were shielded or even a little exposed when it came to their strength. Nam Ek and Faora could match Clark physically without their suits having been broken and Zod didn't get a sudden strength upgrade once he started to expose himself. Clark has a bunch of other feats, but Zod and Co only need to match him to actually be considered equal to what he can do.
If you take out the sun and ask why Kryptonians seemed so normal back home and yet not one of them questioning how powerful they've gotten on Earth, you are left with it being down to gravity and the Kryptonians know it... Jor El did after all.
We know from the moon landing that a lower gravity doesn't make you fly, only fall more slowly.
What? Clark is a lightyear from the sun and heals from near death after a nuke went off in his face, why would any Kryptonian need to be nearer to make a difference?
Thing is you can't really estimate how hot the neutron star was when Thor exposed himself, because you don't know how old it actually is (the older it is, the colder it will be since there is nothing keeping the heat generation going like with a normal star). On top of that you have consider what it does and doesn't do... like Thor's clothes not all being turned to ash in a split second. HV is no less dodgy really, but we have stuff like how it was able to go through a sizeable steel beam in less than two seconds to have a pretty good guess that it has to be in the thousands at the point of impact.
Like I said, it would have to be in the thousands of degrees because the melting point of steel is around 1500 degrees Celsius (or 2750 degrees Fahrenheit) and at those levels it will just melt like the outside of a candle, to get through it like HV does, the temperature has to be much higher... like a cutting torch gets as hot as 6000 degrees Fahrenheit and that's not going to do it quickly.
